EBMA Foundation

Every day, we witness parents making unimaginable sacrifices to give their child born with a cleft lip and palate a chance to smile, speak, eat, and live with dignity. Some travel thousands of kilometres with hope in their hearts. Some overcome fear and uncertainty all for one dream: to see their child smile confidently for the very first time.

At EBMA Foundation, we honour the strength of these families and remain committed to standing beside them through holistic cleft care and support.

This Eid, let us remember that the greatest sacrifice is made out of love, and the greatest gift we can give is hope.

A child born with a cleft lip or palate deserves timely care, not stigma, isolation, or delayed treatment. Yet in many rural communities across India, low awareness prevents families from seeking early medical support, affecting a child’s nutrition, speech, confidence, and future.

Awareness can change lives.
Early treatment can restore smiles, dignity, and hope.

Every child deserves the right to smile, eat properly, speak clearly, and live with dignity. Yet, thousands of children and adults across India born with a cleft lip or cleft palate continue to suffer in silence due to a lack of awareness, financial constraints, and limited medical access.

Through our flagship "Smile for Life" mission, the EBMA Foundation is working tirelessly alongside medical professionals and partner hospitals to provide life-changing cleft surgeries completely free of cost.

A single 45-minute surgery can end a lifetime of isolation and shame, giving a child back their smile, education, and place in the world.

From a 19-hour train journey from Bihar to Kolkata… to a brand new smile filled with hope.

Meet little Devi, whose family travelled across states with one dream: to see their daughter smile without pain, stigma, or fear.

Today, that dream has become reality. Through the free holistic cleft care support of the EBMA Foundation, Devi successfully underwent her cleft lip surgery, transforming not just her smile, but her future. The strength of her mother, the resilience of her family, and the power of compassionate healthcare remind us why this mission matters every single day.

Every child deserves the chance to smile with confidence no matter where they come from. Together, we can reach more children waiting for life-changing cleft care across India.

These words from a mother remind us why cleft care is more than just surgery; it is about restoring confidence, dignity, and the chance to smile without fear. Through the Muthoot Shape A Smile Project, supported by The Muthoot Group, we recently completed another series of life-changing cleft surgeries for children and families who had been waiting for hope.

Every healed smile carries a mother’s prayer, a family’s dream, and a child’s brighter future. But thousands of children across India are still waiting for treatment.

Meet the mother of little Devi, who travelled nearly 19 hours from Bihar to Kolkata, so her daughter could receive cleft lip treatment at the EBMA Foundation Cleft Care Centre.

Behind every healed smile is a mother’s resilience.
A mother who overcomes fear, distance, financial hardship, and social stigma.
A mother who refuses to give up until her child can smile with confidence.
Cleft mothers are among the strongest women we meet, turning pain into courage and hope into healing.
But thousands of children across India are still waiting for life-changing cleft care.

This Mother’s Day, we invite CSR leaders, hospitals, healthcare institutions, donors, foundations, and changemakers to collaborate with us in expanding access to free cleft surgeries and holistic cleft care for underserved children.
Together, we can ensure that no mother has to travel alone in search of her child’s smile.

A mother’s tears. A father’s silence.
And a future filled with uncertainty.

When Ruhi Parveen was born with a cleft lip and palate, her parents didn’t know where to turn. Coming from a small village in North 24 Pargana, access to care felt impossible.
But hope found its way.
With the support of the EBMA Foundation and The Muthoot Group under the Muthoot Shape a Smile initiative, Ruhi underwent cleft lip surgery at just 6 months old.
Today, her family no longer lives in fear; they live with hope.
And this is only the beginning of her journey.

From screening to surgery, every step plays a critical role in transforming lives.

This is how the journey unfolds:
🩺 Identification & comprehensive screening
🏥 Safe and timely surgical intervention
🥗 Nutritional support to help children regain strength for future procedures

At EBMA Foundation, we believe cleft care is not a one-time intervention; it is a continuum of care that ensures every child moves closer to a healthier, more confident future.

We extend our sincere gratitude to for their invaluable support in bringing smiles and renewed hope to children in Kolkata.
